The renewal process

1

Apply before your current DSC expires

Start 2-3 weeks ahead if you have upcoming filings, renewal isn't instant even though it's fast.

2

Complete a fresh Aadhaar eKYC video verification

Renewal isn't automatic, it requires the same identity verification as a new certificate.

3

Receive your renewed certificate

This may load onto your existing USB token if it's in good condition, or come on a fresh token.

4

Re-register on every portal you use

MCA, GST, Income Tax, DGFT, ICEGATE, GeM, whichever you use, each needs your renewed certificate registered again individually.

Can you reuse your old token?

Often yes, many Certifying Authorities can load your renewed certificate onto your existing token if it's less than 2-3 years old and functioning correctly, saving you from needing a new physical token each time.
